About

Hi — I’m Adam. This site is where I share ideas, organize notes, track goals, and explore things I find interesting and important.

My big goal here is to spark creativity and learning.

Here are some frequent topics:

  • Goals — my annual lists
  • Books — reviews and recommendations
  • Travel — notes and photos from places I visit
  • Photography — a selection of pictures I’ve taken
  • Cities — commentary from an arm-chair urban planner
  • Creative — writing and otherwise
  • Notes — a somewhat scattered collection of comments and takeaways

Updated January 2024:

I work as a Senior Economist at the Colorado Public Utilities Commission. In my free time I run a small business, Fuller Creative, that provides freelance copywriting and consulting services. I also serve on the Board of Directors for the nonprofit HandsOn Greater Phoenix.

Previously I was a graduate student at Colorado School of Mines, where I completed an MS in Mineral and Energy Economics. While I was in school I contributed to research on water and electricity rates and worked part time as a teaching assistant and freelance copywriter.

Before that I served for more than 10 years as a business analyst and communications strategist at Salt River Project (SRP), a local power and water utility in Phoenix. You can read about my great experience at SRP, and why I decided to leave, in my article With best wishes to SRP.

Prior to SRP I worked as a freelance journalist in Chile, taught English in Japan, and managed events at the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce.

I have an MBA from the W.P. Carey School of Business, and a BA from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, both at Arizona State University.


I take transparency and integrity seriously, and I want to make it crystal clear that I’m writing and speaking for myself here. The views expressed on my blog are mine and don’t represent those of my employer, or anyone else.
